Breaking News Southend United staff now PAID!! (25th July)

[Westcliff DGS]

Yes, be really interesting to see if July paid. If the NL requirements are to clear football related debts by a certain date, assuming that date is before 31 July, then that meets their requirements and their is no consequence (from a NL licence perspective) to remain current.

Horrible way to do business.

Agree and it is a disgusting way to do business and treat employees

 

[Thundersley Blue]

That makes no sense at all
He either did have the money or he didn’t.
Asking permission to make the payment is a separate step. He could have asked for permission a month ago, two months ago, whenever

The money was probably there, but as is usual with a Winding Up Petition, Bank Accounts are frozen. Hence the need to return to Court.

I think the money should be kept as we may find out that the staff still might not get paid going forward.

After everything has settled down the money could be held back to assist in helping any other clubs that get into a similar situation to us. Unfortunately I think we’ll see this situation occur at another club.

Yes , everyone gets that he needed to het the court order. I don’t think anyone has disputed that on any post in this thread.

What we don’t know is if the cash was in the account or not and why he didn’t apply for the order weeks/months ago.

To be clear there is no correlation between having funds in the bank account and getting the court order- they are totally independent

So was Chris Phillips' piece on the staff going without wages, actually the catylist for Ron to press the "send money over" button ?

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Why is everyone still moaning ? I thought the staff finally being paid was a good thing!

 

[bazzashrimper]

If the folk buying the club want wages up to date before they buy it, then he has to sell this week or find a bit more cash.

Great that the staff have been paid but what happens to the hardship fund.

come next Monday RM will probably apply for a loan from it to pay staff wages citing hes hard up.

Not my decision but I would advocate once the dust settles it is either shared out amongst the faithful staff or donated to a charity of their choice.

Heroes and heroines all of them. For the sacrifices they have made they deserve a collective place in the SUFC hall of fame.

I think @jphfitz commented on this in another thread

 

[Southstand blue]

once the new owner/s are in ask those staff to come onto the pitch pre game and hand them the fund we can thank them and they will get a bonus

 

[RomanRed]

Excellent new that the staff have been paid.

Now, what happens for this month's pay?

By doing this, it does seem to show, to some extent, that 'the one who shall not be named' knows he has to get everything sorted out for the Football Club to satisfy the National League.

Or maybe I am just being overly positive for you guys.

No, I should think that he had already exceeded the deadline he'd been given was more of a catalyst.

They haven’t been paid in 5 months, you think they haven’t been charged interest on overdrafts, credit card bills & loans? They still need the hardship fund.

 

[David Icke]

How about a statue of some sort outside the main stand that says - “To the few. Lest we forget. And a list of their names”.

I never said that they didn't. Was just interested how it will be distributed.
